The disaster is that there has been a large enough component of buyers that did not care about the issue, and that had no idea of the possibility of the issue.

It created this perverse market together with many others.

No, they also don't care. Talk to most people. They literally don't care and will say things like "Well let them have the data, what will they do with it?" Especially when you save a few bucks with something like a "loyalty card."
